Serious question: what part of that bothers you? You think there should only be one recipe for a food and only the culture that created that recipe should use it? (I'm just thinking of all the different versions of bread or rice in the world.)

Serious answer: It is cultural appropriation that White people do every time. Yes, great that you can drink Haldi-Dudh and become healthy, but give the due to the people who told you about it. And be respectful and call it Haldi Dudh. What's this nonsense with Golden Milk? And no West does not grow Turmeric so they did not happen to stumble upon it. It came from India - just like Yoga and cholley (not chick pea stew) and now Haldi Dudh.

I can understand the frustration of the PP1. I personally worry about more serious transgressions than the cultural appropriation of 3rd world traditions and pretending that it is some fantastic discovery of West.

Okay fair enough but how was OP to know that "golden milk" was actually called Haldi-Dudh. It was obviously not an intentional disrespect to anyone's culture. I've never heard of it, so I would never stop to think "hmmmm let me research this drink to make sure I'm not appropriating someone's culture before I start talking about it". Come on PP.

Now we know it's called Haldi-Dudh. I for one will never call it golden milk that's for sure.

Why is the black pepper needed?

I use white pepper. It's more aesthetically pleasing and has the same affect.

It contains a compound called piperine, which when combined with turmeric, increases the absorption of curcumin by upto an astonishing 2000%.

Do you have a reference for that?

The piperine content of white peppercorn is 6.6%-7.0% versus black peppercorn which is 6.3%. Making white pepper more active with a smaller amount.

Warm up milk, add turmeric and black pepper and stir. No great mystery to making it. Can't believe that there is "recipes" for it. Seriously!!

Some people boil it in milk with a bit of coconut oil too. Fat and pepperine are key components.

I feel this way about so many things, like pancakes, fried chicken, eggs. At some point you just combine until things are the right consistency and flavor but if someone asks for the recipe I'm a deer in the headlights. For turmeric just stir in a sprinkle into anything (it just so happens it makes milks tasty), like you might sprinkle cinnamon into your coffee.

Oh you just reminded me how much I hate that Alison Roman chick, how she deserved what she got for appropriated asian foods and then dissing asians.

Another example is that Alison Roman pretending that she invented “the stew” which was just a bastardized version of the chickpeas Indian and Middle Eastern people have been making daily for centuries.
